Is there a way to take an old json config and convert it to yaml using `fleetctl`?

Hi Zach! I'll check with the team and get back to you.

Currently, `fleetctl` does not have any conversion tool.

PS: I've just verified and you could use a tool like `yq`:
<https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/v/v4.x/usage/convert>
1. Get config as JSON, with my version of fleetctl (v4.5.0) it's: `fleetctl get config --json &gt; source.json`.
2. Convert to YAML: `yq eval -P config.json &gt; config.yaml`

Let me know if this works for you.

More information from the team:

To my surprise, JSON files are valid YAML :slightly_smiling_face: , so you could apply a JSON file `fleetctl apply -f config.json` and then you could get it in YAML format with `fleetctl get config --yaml` .

:thinking_face: whoa, that makes my life easier, I'll give it a shot, thanks!

You probably want that JSON to be under the `config` key in the yaml.
